Davao City To Host MNLF-OIC Meeting?

Davao City, Philippines - Davao City Mayor Rodrigor R. Duterte said there is a possibility that the next tripartite meeting between the government and the Moro National Liberation Font (MNLF) facilitated by the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) will be held in Davao City.

The chief executive said MNLF-Davao chair George Asi has suggested to him about MNLF chair Nur Misuari's desire to have the next tripartite meeting here.

The tripartite meeting is reviewing the implementation of the 1996 GRP-MNLF Peace Agreement.

However, Duterte said there is no final date has been set on the next meeting yet.

He said the city can only accommodate the meeting as far as security is concerned. But he cannot support financially since an estimated 20,000 people is expected to come.

Duterte said the city is tightening its belt in preparation for other priorities, especially the incoming rainy days. - Philippine News Agency
